ASSISTANT PROFESSOR
Keegan Manson-Curry is an ethnographer of music, sound, and the environment in contemporary Canada. He works with Indigenous and settler communities to understand how sonic expressions—musical or otherwise—shape and are shaped by this place we now call Canada. His work draws on a lifetime spent as a performer of traditional and popular musics on the country’s East Coast. His publications include a forthcoming chapter on silence and settler hydroelectric development, a forthcoming article on the sonic intimacy of quietly riffling waters, and a co-authored study of Scottish pipe bands’ work to navigate their colonial past and diversifying present in Canada, currently undergoing peer review with McGill-Queen’s University Press.
